Falmouth’s online masters degrees benefit from industry-informed expertise

Falmouth UniversityOnline learning has advanced at pace over the past few years, and thanks to new technologies making the experience immersive and collaborative, studying a degree online is increasingly a first-choice option for students.

A common misconception about online study is that by not being on campus, students miss out on those all-important connections to industry. However, for those studying online at creative specialists Falmouth University, the connections couldn’t be stronger; inspiring academics and guest speakers, innovative online tutors with a wealth of current commercial expertise, and industry-informed live projects are as integral to their online degrees as those taught on-campus.

The online tutors bring a significant depth of connection to industry through their involvement in the online learning space; many of them balance their tutoring roles with working in industry, so online students benefit from the very latest industry-informed expertise.

Take MA in Indie Game Development (Online) tutor Sally Blake as an example –  having risen through the ranks at leading video game publisher Ubisoft, she now leads her own studio Silent Games. She says, “It’s nice to see students from different backgrounds working together and helping each other, and (the course) is a fantastic forum for sharing skills and to teach people about the industry and all its intricacies.”

Award-winning photographer Michelle Sank – who recently scooped a Sony World Photography Award for her work – is an online tutor on the MA in Photography (Online) and takes great inspiration from her involvement on the course, explaining, “The highlight has been seeing where students have begun, how they've taken risks and pushed themselves, and the success that they’ve had in the world with their work as a result.”

The virtual learning environment makes it really easy for students to connect with tutors. Plus, the courses offer optional in-person events to support and encourage networking, where students meet sector-leading professionals, share their work, and gain valuable insights into their chosen field.
